I thought at the time it wasn't a bad signing but we paid well over the odds.
For me he's not ahead in his development of where Gyokeres was at the time we bought him, but his transfer fee is massive compared to what we paid for Gyokeres.
£1.5-£2 million would have been a fair price for him...
Yea can't understand why they haven't played together, Godden has had a good start to the season but over 46 games he's not the answer.
Surely the plan was for Wright and Simms to be the front two long term. Get them minutes together on the pitch.
When you are relying on Palmer to be chief creator and Godden to be main striker you aren't gonna be threatening the play offs at championship level.
I was hoping Ayari would be taking Hamers position in the team so a little disappointed to see Robins sees him as a 10.
Need reinforcements, three players ready to go straight into the first team.
Since the Hamer sale our business in the transfer market has been very poor.
Two poor teams, we are three quality players from even thinking about doing anything this season.
Thought Ayari was going to be more of a central midfielder.
We look well off it imo.
Only position we have strengthened is full backs, everywhere else on the pitch is looking weaker than last season.
We're trying to play out from the back and aren't good enough to do it, and dont have Hamer or Gyokeres to exploit space on the counter or going direct...
Robins talking about getting one or two more in now, looks like it's going to be a disappointing end. Looks like we are going to end up short of where we need to be.
Looks ok to me, Howley to be loaned out. Allen not really a CM, he will be competing for CAM and Kelly only to be used in emergency. Leaves 5 players competing for two spots, maybe a little much but not excessive.
Very strange statement by the club, he won't be returning to training or the first team for Man Utd. But they aren't terminating his contract either, Greenwood is to be loaned our or sold for the remainder of his contract.
